Title: Circum-Pannonian isoglosses: The absolutive superlative
Subject Headings: Ethnolinguistics; Linguistics
Publication: SS

Austerlitz, Robert. 1987.* "Circum-Pannonian isoglosses: The absolutive superlative," SS 9/1-2 (Lencek Festschrift): 25-32.
Austerlitz, Robert 1987: "Circum-Pannonian isoglosses: The absolute superlative" Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, and Slovene are grouped on the basis of the origins of their forms of "very." Serbo-Croatian occupies a central position, as its five forms place it in groupings by magnitudo ("large"), potestas ("power/ability"), quantitas ("much"), and crypto-deixis (where the etymology is obscure). Slovene fits in none of the groups, pointing to the influence of Western contact.

Bethin, Christina Y. 1985: "Intonation and length in the Slovene genitive plural" Length is analyzed as completely rule-derived. A morphologically conditioned rule in association with a phonological rule can explain length in Slovene more economically than paradigms requiring rules of stress-retraction or other metatony rules. This rule was not the sole marker of the genitive plural; Slovene was able to curtail it diachronically.

Bonazza, Sergio 1985: "The Protestant movement and the question of the Glagolitic alphabet in the South Slavic culture tradition" Even if the Protestant movement was never able to take hold in Croatia, the Protestant Glagolitic activity in Urach had great influence on Croatian culture in a practical, ideological and theoretical sense. Protestantism kept literature in Glagolitic alive during a stagnant period. On the other hand the results achieved by the Protestants were in large part due to the fate and development of Glagolitic writing.

Brooks, Maria Zagorska 1987: "The development and structure of writing in the Slavic languages" The author first discusses the varying impact of diglossia on the Slavic languages. Its greatest influence occurred among the Eastern Slavs where it obtained primarily between two Slavic languages. She then speaks of differences between written and spoken language, noting the primacy of the latter and the influence of writing on speech as the two forms grow closer.

Brozović, Dalibor 1989: "Contemporary Standard Slovene: A complex linguistic phenomenon" The author discusses factors that make Slovene the most individual of Slavic languages with the most broadly differentiated system of dialects. He touches on its phonetic variety and orthographic difficulties, the effects of its formalization during the Reformation and the subsequent period of stagnation of the written language, its development within multilingual states, and the contrasts and similarities with other Slavic languages and language groups that define its uniqueness.

Derbyshire, William W. 1977: "Some comments on the origin of homonymy in Slovene" Homonymy is viewed as an inadequately studied aspect of Slovene. The author offers examples of partial homophones, and homographs that vary by accent and by vowel quality, and offers many examples of partial and full homonyms, some the result of foreign borrowing, but the majority of pure Slavic origin.

Dunatov, Rasio 1987: "A note on the nature and the status of the Standard Serbo-Croatian in Bosnia-Hercegovina" The Bosnian-Hercegovinian [BiH] form of standard Serbo-Croatian meets Brozović's and Janković's definitions of a variant. Despite some neutralizations of oppositions between Eastern and Western forms, BiH speakers use both kinds of variant with little if any awareness of their origin; and there is no correspondence to ethnicity. BiH Serbo-Croatian thus constitutes a separate (if not yet formally established) norm of usage and performs for its speakers the same functions as the Eastern and Western variants do for theirs.

Feldstein, Ronald F. 1982: "The relative chronology of the Slovene progressive stress shift" The approaches of Ramovš, Jaksche and Stankiewicz to the Slovene progressive stress shift are analyzed: each proposed a different chronology. The author concludes that the Slovene lengthening of non-rising vowels in the syllables which were closed after the loss of jers, and the progressive stress shift, provide more evidence of the existence of short-vowel pitch in Early Slovene; and that the progressive stress shift proves the elimination of the latter.

Feldstein, Ronald F. 1987: "Regular properties of Old Church Slavonic verbs" The author offers an analysis by which a number of OCS verbs with jer-vowel alternations that are usually listed as irregular may be regularized. Front-jer mutation is conditioned by the addition of a vocalic ending to an a-stem verb, and of an obstruent ending to a non-suffixed verb. In both situations, the consonant following the jer dictates the resulting mutated vowel. Also noted are implications of this scheme for the study of aorist formations, as well as some exceptions to the analysis.

Numerous new words and new formations were introduced on the Czech model, and many have survived.

Galton, Herbert. 1979.* "Some peculiarities of verbal aspect in Slovene," SS 1/2: 52-60.
Galton, Herbert 1979: "Some peculiarities of verbal aspect in Slovene" This article addresses the use of the perfective to express the "present of coincidence." This phenomenon occurs much more frequently in Slovene than elsewhere in Slavic. Certain expressions seem to express an action simultaneous with the speaker's utterance but actually express their intention to effect an action by the utterance; this situation calls for the perfective. The author rejects suggestions that this usage arose from German influence and proposes a preservation from Old Church Slavonic.

Galton, Herbert, 1981: "The specific position of Slovene in the Slavic verbal aspect" Slovene verbal aspect has a particular position among the Slavic languages. One the one hand it has retained the future function of the perfective present, unlike other South Slavic languages; on the other, it has remodeled the old future perfect as a general future in both aspects, which recalls the North Slavic type. Several of the functions of the perfective present are explained and exemplified.

Galton, Herbert 1985: "Imperfective and perfective past tense in Slovene: A definitely non-binary approach." The perfective-imperfective opposition is not a matter of the perfective carrying a specific feature that the imperfective leaves completely indeterminate; rather, both the perfective and imperfective define precise views of situations. Galton offers several examples of aspectual usage in Cankar to illustrate the contradictory opposition between the two aspects.

Golush, Ruth A. 1977: "The origin of vowel reduction in Slovene" The author traces the loss of short accented vowels in different kinds of syllables. She compares the approaches of Toporišič, Jaksche, Isačenko and Jakobson, and cites the direction of historical changes and the development of vowel reduction as evidence of Jaksche's being the correct approach. She argues that a loss of distinctive quantity was followed by a deductive shortening of unaccented vowels and then an abductive reinterpretation of those shortened vowels.

Gorup, Radmila 1987: "Verbs of double government in Serbo-Croatian" The author presents a semantic solution to the problem why some Serbo-Croatian verbs can take both the accusative and dative cases as their direct object. She formulates a hierarchy in which cases reveal the extent of control their referents have over an event, from the nominative through the instrumental and the dative to the accusative. She exemplifies the dative-accusative distinction with an analysis of excerpts from texts.

Greenberg, Marc 1994: "Circumflex advancement in Prekmurje and beyond" The article treats the forward shift of Proto-Slavic circumflex accents in the Slovene dialects of Prekmurje and Prlekija and in Kajkavian dialects of Serbo-Croatian. It is concluded that the weak jers were still present at the time of this shift; that syllable weight was a decisive factor; and that this dynamic process occurred in a chronologically ordered fashion, failing to be fully implemented as it reached Northeast Slovene dialects.

Gribble, Charles E. 1987: "On the change of Jat' to E after Jot" A treatment of the question whether jat' changed to /e/ after jot in early Russian. Several factors complicate the question, including the rarity of the jot-jat' combination due to phonetic, orthographic, and grammatical limitations. Durnovo offers a reasonable affirmative position regarding the coalescence, but it is argued that more evidence is needed to confirm Durnovo's position. The author cites what he claims is a hyperform in the Mstislavova gramota (circa 1130) as corroboration of the change.

Gvozdanović, Jadranka 1987: "Remarks on the development of Resian vowels" A preliminary analysis of the development of the distinction between clear and dark vowels in Resian. Basing her analysis on Baudouin de Courtenay's 1875 description of the dialect and comparing the results of 2Oth-C. studies, the author determines that the distinction arose from the tense-lax distinction found in Friulian loans, but that the dark vowels became phonemes in Resian only after the dialect lost its phonological length distinctions.

He notes that this list is much shorter than his original Slovene noun list because the latter comes from his reading of Pleteršnik while his Resian data comes from a single native speaker.

Micklesen, Lew R. 1980: "Analogy in the accentological history of Conservative Slovene" Analogy has been a powerful force in the evolution of Slovene intonation and explains certain changes in the language better than other models. Examples of analogic change are: the retraction of stress to long or laryngealized syllables and to the initial morae of words; the advancement of stress from initial accented morae; the parallel retraction resulting from the loss of jers and the rise of the neo-acute; and the retraction from final short syllables to preceding long vowels.

Micklesen, Lew R. 1983: "The circumflex accent: A confrontation of accentological classes as documented in Slovene" The circumflex accent in Slovene arose from a confrontation of old oxytonic and final-columnar stress patterns. Comparing documented accent patterns of certain pre-Slavic declensions with modern Slovene forms, the author concludes that tensions between oxytonic and final-columnar patterns shifted the stress of oxytonic words from the end to the beginning of such words, producing the circumflex accent.

Both signals are used inconsistently. It is hypothesized that the acute accent had both a qualitative and accentual value, and that the grave accent had only a qualitative value. At the very least, it is certain that the acute accent denoted stress and the grave accent the schwa sound.

This syncretism takes different forms in the according to number, and data suggest syncretism in the dual and the plural may be mutually exclusive.

Nedeljković, Olga 1985: "Illyrian humanist ideas in the works of the South Slavic Protestant publishers in Urach" In contrast to Croatian (Illyrian-Italian) humanism, the Slovenes adopted North European humanism: this is seen in the emphasis in the Slovene Protestant literature of didactic ideas, particularly in the prefaces to their publications; and in their local patriotism. In the centuries that followed, for example in the l9th-C. Illyrian Revival, these differences between the Slovene and the other South Slavs could not be bridged.

Nedeljković, Olga 1986: "The two divergent ideological concepts underlying the language concepts of Croatian and Slovene Protestant writers" In Medieval times the population of the Adriatic coast uses two languages and three alphabets. There were two different concepts involved in the linguistic development of the Croatian and the Slovene Protestant writers. The Croatian Protestants adopted their own language and adapted it to contemporary needs. The Slovene Protestant writers were more inclined to develop a common religious language, adopting the Protestant idea of the vernacular as the medium of communication.

Ostojić, Branislav 1987: "The semantic value of the lexemes ličiti se and posobiti in the language of Petar I Petrović" Data from Yugoslav dictionaries and literature are used to explain the usage and fate in the contemporary standard language of these verbs. Usages of both verbs in Petar I Petrović differ significantly from the cited dictionary definitions, indicating the verbs previously had broader ranges of meanings.

Parpulova-Gribble, Lyubomira 1987: "Gistorija o rossijskom matrosse Vassilii Koriotskom and the Russian folktale" The author compares the morphology of Gistorija to that of the standard fairy tale to determine the interrelationship. While Gistorija parallels both the standard morphological formula and seven-character system of the fairy tale, the absence of any supernatural element points to adventure stories as the direct source of folktale influence. Also noted is the connection between the Gistorija's themes, the political and social goals of Peter the Great, and attitudes of the time toward old and new.

Paternost, Joseph 1981: "Aspects of name changes among American Slovenes" Several linguistic and extra-linguistic factors affected the name changes of Slovene immigrants to America. Among the former, orthographic problems are highlighted, especially the problem of word-final "j". A large group of Slovene names had an apostrophe added after an initial "O," reflecting the influence of Irish immigrants. The author also relates two unusual name changes, Krašavec to Wilson and Žnideršič to Tagler, which arose from the whims of officials and superiors.

Paternost, Joseph 1987: "Metaphors of mediation in Slovene epitaphs" A discussion of the use of metaphor in Slovene epitaphs to soften, neutralize, and overcome the impact of death. The author concentrates on the frequent appearance of natural images -- flowers, gardens, valleys, mountains, and stars -- and the common usage of the happy:up::sad:down metaphoric formula. Many of the epitaphs mediate death by portraying it as positive, as either a release from earthly suffering or a passage to heaven.

Paternost, Joseph 1994: "Symbols, slogans and identity in the Slovene search for sovereignty" The article aims to identify the usage of some important linguistic symbols used by Slovenes between 1987 and 1991 in their search for their `true' identity. Emphasis is on (1) geographical orientation (e.g., Evropa, Srboslavija; Triglav, Alpe, sever, jug) and (2) sociocultural aspects of change (e.g., variations on proletarci vseh dežel, združite se, and references to economics and language). It is concluded that symbols of this kind are almost essential and are `pliable.'

Several diachronic problems remain; synchronically, it is suggested that the productivity of the alternations -- about which data are lacking -- is of vital interest.

Analysis of fieldwork data illustrates the importance of the geographic and age factors; the former is best defined as "place of longest residence as measured from the Church." A variable rule, based on these factors, is devised. Several other factors, including the culturo-political, the educational and the socio-economic, are suggested.

Priestly, Tom M.S. 1987: "Verb-productivity: Evidence from three varieties of Slovene" Three examples of the lexicon of Slovene are analyzed with respect to the conjugational classes of borrowed words: the language of 1592, as recorded by Megiser; Literary Slovene; and the Carinthian dialect of Sele. The preponderance of -irati verbs in the literary language is paralleled in neither Megiser nor selščina. This tentative analysis illustrates the way in which a language can favor one type of grammatical class.

Priestly, Tom M.S. 1992: "Surrender to symbolic domination, or resistance: Patterns of language-use among Slovene-speakers in two Carinthian communities" Language-use in the village of Sele and the town of Borovlje is contrasted, with reference to demographic, economic, historical, political, educational, administrative and cultural factors. The maintenance of Slovene in Sele, and its relatively rapid loss in Borovlje, are thus seen in context. The author adopts the framework whereby the use of one or another language is a form of social deviance to help explain the differences between the two localities.

Reindl, Donald F. 1995: "Evidence for the Germanic origin of some Slovene month names" Several Slovene month names, standard and dialectal, are of uncertain origin. Of these, some have a structure similar to German month-names. Given that names of this nature more probably originated in one source rather than arising independently, a detailed analysis of semantic roots in Slovene and other Slavic languages leads to the conclusion that, indeed, some were translations of German originals.

The data for average information per phoneme and redundancy for English and Slovene are compared; and information-theoretical data about consonant clusters in Slovene are explained and interpreted. Information theory is a useful tool that can provide exact, quantifiable data.

Steenwijk, Han 1991: "The nominal declension of Friulian loans in the Slovene dialect of Val Resia" The author compares the declension of nouns and adjectives borrowed into Resian Slovene from Friulian with the declension of native Resian words. Friulian nouns fit well into the three-class declension framework applied to Slovene, while all Friulian adjectival loans have remained indeclinable. Steenwijk also addresses the voiceless/voiced alternation, the infix /-n/, and the as-yet-unexplained origin of the class of masculine nouns with the nominative singular ending in /-i/.

Stermole, David F. 1987: "Some rapid grammatical changes in Carinthian Slovene" The author presents evidence of linguistic simplification in two bilingual villages. Differences between older and younger speakers' Slovene show a trend toward neutralization of peripheral case-ending distinctions. Tentative explanations for this trend include possible interference from German, the relatively infrequent use of the affected constructions, increased exposure to television decreasing the exposure young people have to the Slovene speech of parents and grandparents, and greater community insistence on the correct usage of German than Slovene.

Words that entered Slovene directly from Croatian and entered the two languages from other Slavic languages simultaneously far outnumber those that entered Croatian through Slovene, indicating that the cooperative effort at lexical development turned during this period to enrichment in one direction.

The author then discusses Bishop Hren's replacement of Trubar's borrowings with native or Slavic words and some grammatical aspects of the adaptation of borrowings. He concludes that Trubar's Germanisms reflect his direction of his work toward the urban populace, while Hren's work was a declaration of Slovene's independence from German linguistic colonization.

He presents economic data from Québec from 1971 to 1986 that supports each of these predictions.

Some analyses of Slovene phonology have concluded that the syllabic trill has phonemic status, while others conclude that it is a sequence of phonemes. This latter analysis is dependent on oft-repeated observations that the syllabic trill in Slovene is realized as a phonetic sequence and the notion that a principle of economy operates in phoneme inventories. This study examines the phonological motivations for this reasoning in greater detail, and presents the first instrumental phonetic analysis of the Slovene syllabic trill to ascertain whether the sequence analysis is justified.
